a few things I"m working on:
- I shouldn"t be too aggressive at times... especially when I have a bigger stack I play more pots (which is pretty logic) but I want to win every pot and sometimes keep betting/calling with just a gut shot or overcards... that has to stop :)
- if I raise, get reraised and another player calls, I call too often with marginal hands
- I shouldn"t be afraid to raise in early position with a decent hand... especially closer to the bubble, I"m too scared to open a pot in early position with a hand like AJs. This gets better when on the FT for example where i play more aggressively as a lot of people play scared.

Hi. Well done so far with turning a very nice profit. I"m working on some similar concepts and have a few thoughts:
- Aggression is key, but just ensure you are selective. If you run PT3/HM2 you can look at useful stats to start to narrow players opening ranges, 3-bet ranges, limp-call ranges. Consider your fold-equity when you are betting with a semi-bluff - just looking over 1/2 hands post-session with pokerstove will really help. Play more pots in-position than OOP when being aggressive
- Ensure you polarise your range when opening from any position. I tend to open in early position with all PPs (especially where 3-betting is less prevalent as it builds a pot for when I hit a set) ATs+/AJo+ (or something like that range - depending on how many handed we are and passivity/aggression of the table) and then throw in some 86s/97s type hands for when we flop something funky and to give less credit to my premium hands (as players can see I am prepared to raise from earl position more often and may even show down some of these hands)
Hope this makes sense and helps some.

Damn Russian donks... calling/raising with air and then hitting the river. Not a good start tonight. Lost half my stack in the Knockout
CO raises, I (button) go all in with 20 bb"s with AT. CO calls KJ; easy call of course :s And the donk hits.
Out of the Knockout, why do players just want to call an all in to try and win $2,5... wp sir.

Out of Stars PLO: AAxx vs KKxx vs QQxx ... runner runner flush for the QQ hand
